House rejects bill for red-light camera policing AUSTIN (AP) — Big Brother suffered a loss in Texas on Monday. A measure that would have allowed cities to place cameras at traffic-light intersections to catch red-light runners and mail a fine to registered owners of the vehicle in violation once again failed in the Texas House. Opponents argued that the measure would be a “cash- cow” for local governments and the camera companies and would encroach on motorists’ privacy rights. Rep. Phil King, R- Weatherford, who sponsored the bill, argued that red-light runners are a serious problem in Texas, where they are responsible for 20,000 deaths and injuries every year. “This is a bill that eveiv body loves to hate,” King si as he introduced the II for debate. King argued that mini police officers to monitorintci’ sections is “extremely i cient” and would requiti 90,000 officers on an a basis. The citations would been treated much like a park ing ticket. Rep. Terry Keel, R-A argued that a camera wouldaoi stop the problem. “How many reckless drivers is a camera going to stop? Ho» many DWI drivers is a earners going to take off the road? Keel asked, arguing againstti legislation.
